I disassembled the whole system, because of the beeps and the many resets, having an intense cleaning in mind.

When I took the mainboard out of the case, I noticed that there was thermal grease spotwise worn off both the CPU and the GPU. Also I noticed one missing heatpad and three heatpads that shrinked to about 65% in area.

So far, thats what Ive done:

Changed the Bios Battery.

Cleaned everything, especially CPU and GPU Surface.

Put new Thermal grease of most recent quality (5-10 W/mK) onto the CPU and GPU.

Put new Silicone Heatpads onto the ICs where I found the old wornout pads, especially the chipset-IC is now completely covered by a pad.

Reassembled and tested.

I experienced one more crash beeping - I guess its about the bios battery change - and I had to reactivate my system.

Since then everything is running fine again now.

Seems to have been a thermal issue because of the wornout pads and the broken thermal grease.
